the Army Ethic-Educating and Equipping the Army Mid-Level Leaders in the CGSOC

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze how the Command and General Staff Officers Course (CGSOC) educates and equips Army's mid-level leaders on the Army Ethic. With the advent of information technology, the old maxim of "doing the right thing when no one is watching" has evolved to "doing the right thing as the whole world is watching." How well, then, does the CGSOC prepare the Army's organizational leaders to ensure they and their units live by the Army Ethic? The primary method of qualitative analysis is through content analysis of documents (both doctrinal and non-doctrinal) and personal interviews. Using the Army Design Methodology as a broad framework, this study assesses how well CGSOC's current approach achieves the desired end state and recommends how CGSOC can improve organizational responsibility, method and content of education, and resources to equip the students to understand and apply the Army Ethic in conduct of the mission, performance of duty, and all aspects of life.
